21 Speed Bike? Pssh! How About an INFINITE Speed Bike?

Posted by Action Isle – February 27, 2009

There is something called the NuVinci CVT, which can be used on bikes to provide an UNLIMITED number of gears. That's pretty amazing.

The NuVinci CVT (Continuously Variable planetary Transmission) system contains balls on the inside that, well... just watch the video, I don't think I'd be able to explain it.

When it's equipped on a bike to change the transmission you have to twist the handlebar to increase/decrease the drive.

This thing can be used on more than just bikes too. It can also be used on...

Light Electric Vehicles
Automobiles
All Terrain Vehicles
Lawn Mowers, Golf Carts, etc.
Agricultural Equipment
Wind Energy

Easy Homemade Recumbent Bike

Posted by Action Isle – September 16, 2008

Recumbent bikes can be expensive. For those of you with the do-it-yourself approach, check out how this guy did it. He made a cheap recumbent bike out of a woman's bike and part of a kid's bike. He made it without having to weld anything or drill any holes.

See more details on how he did it here.

Monowheel Cycle

Posted by Action Isle – May 6, 2008

Monowheel cycles are something different. With your basic bicycle, riders get "on" and ride, but with a monowheel, the rider gets "in," and sits inside of one giant wheel.

While monowheel cycles are definitely something to look at, their is much to be improved in the monowheel world. In the cycle contest, the bicycle still wins over the monowheel.

Back to Back Tandem Bicycle

Posted by Action Isle – May 5, 2008

I've never seen a tandem bicycle that has the riders back to back. Kind of plays a trick on the mind. Are they coming or going?

StreetSurfer: Improving The Bicycle

Posted by Action Isle – April 24, 2008

The bicycle has been around for a long time, without an amazing amount of change made to the design. The StreetSurfer takes the old design of the bicycle and adds something completely new to the mix. Instead of having only two wheels, the StreetSurfer has five, with the usual one wheel in the back, but four in the front.

The four wheels in the front of the StreetSurfer operate independently from eachother and provide enhanced stability, traction, and the bike's excellent suspension system gives a smooth ride.

Instead of turning the handlebars to steer the bike, the StreetSurfer is steered by leaning to either side.
